Picture shows Lugduff's SE top, taken from the northern slopes of Mullacor. You can just about make out the boardwalk snaking up the middle of the shot - it is a fairly recent development (last 18 months?), and allows you to escape the worst of the bog if you're doing the classic Spink - Mullacor - Derrybawn circuit. Taken 26/01/2003. Trackback: http://mountainviews.ie/summit/219/comment/442/

Interesting historical feature on the way up from the south.

Somewhat south of this summit is the well hidden Rebel Cave. This is located at T07557 93712A. Although we had a nearly correct grid reference it was still hard to find and deceptive. At first you can see an outer part of the cave, to the left facing uphill. It seems a possible cave, if a bit exposed. It is only by searching around that you find the actual slit of an entrance to the interior cave proper.

People have been here and lit a fire in the not too distant past. See if you can find the MountainViews cache, left there in June 2012 - just an MV badge.

Take a look at Track 1808 which shows a complete route you can take incorporating the cave. Trackback: http://mountainviews.ie/summit/219/comment/14698/

Busy afternoon on Lugduff

by tmsr 12 Jun 2014

We approached the Lugduffs' summits from Mullacor, having come over Mullacor and firstly Derrybawn from the Glendalough car park. Conditions were boggy underfoot as it was January and we then took a very steep descent down from Lugduff into the valley, coming out near the bridge. Surprisingly busy up here on the day, but it was a sunny Sunday in the valley below. be careful to check the car aprk closure as they hadn't update the sign this weekend and we thought they were closing at4pm - trying to get this info from the summit proved impossible, as the Visitor Centre were unaware of the information when contacted by phone!

Did this as a couplet with Lugduff. Parking at Ballinafunshoge forest carpark, point T 080 930B, followed a zig-zagging track up through the wood which eventually intersects the Wicklow Way. Followed this until point T087 936C where I continued NW along a forest track while the W. Way veered north. 500m later cleared the wood and headed directly north across gently rising boggy terrain, reaching Lugduff SE top about 1 hour 15 minutes from start. The summit itself is uninspiring, marked only by a small pile of stones. Carried on NWW for 1km, hitting Lugduff after about another 20 minutes, then took a SE direction until reaching the treeline of Ballinafunshoge forest, dropped down to road and arrived back at car park after 3 hours, including leisurely stop for lunch.

Mountain Bike Trail

by darrenf 14 Jun 2010

This photo was taken from Lugduff SE top and clearly shows Mullacor with its well worn track. To the right of this track you might note a faint trail along the forest edge. This seems to be used as a mountain biking trail from Glenmalure and across to Lug as the last few occassions I was around Lugduff I noted numerous bikers using this route to access Glendalough.

I must have passed this yesterday in the driving rain, but didn't really notice as we were heading for the main Lugduff summit - was there even a cairn? Anyway, I'm sure walking on this ridge would offer great views on a clear day, but we didn't see much yesterday :-) It gave good opportunities to test out new raingear for the upcoming months...
